iPad won’t charge any ideas?

Troubleshooting generally requires substitution of the Power Adapter and cable for another known-good item. Most models of iPad require a Power Adapter rated at 12W or greater to reliably charge. 5W Power Adapters intended for older models of iPhone are inadequate to charge an iPad; if the iPad charges at all, charging will be very slow.

Be aware that many computer USB ports cannot source sufficient power to charge an iPad. Unless explicitly designed for charging connected devices, computer USB ports are typically limited to 0.5-1A @5V (i.e., 2.5-5.0W).

If you continue to experience difficulties when using an appropriate Power Adapter of 12W or greater, you might be best advised to seek assistance directly from from Apple Support. You can contact the Support Team using the Support link at top-right or bottom-left of this page. Alternatively, if you have access to another Apple device, you can initiate and manage your support cases using the excellent Apple Support App. If not already installed on your iPad, the App can be downloaded from the App Store:

You might also visit the Genius Bar at your local Apple Store or Apple Authorised Service Provider (AASP) - where the technicians will be able to test and assess your iPad, Power Adapter and cable(s):

Troubleshooting iPad Charge:

A. Start Here: If your iPad won't Charge - Apple Support

B. Which Cables to Use: iPad Accessories - Power & Cables Power & Cables - Apple

C. Try what is on these Links:

• If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch won't Turn On or is Frozen - Apple Support
• If the Screen isn’t Working On your iPhone or iPad - Apple Support
• If your iPad won't Charge - Apple Support

D. Use an Apple Brand Cable:

Do not use a third party cable - cool though it may look, a fabric, third-part cable would likely tear - (Apple cable's are plastic and are intended for Apple).

E. About Battery Health:

Apple doesn't have Battery Health on an iPad. But, for note, Apple recommends that you get a new battery on an iPhone once its Battery Health reaches 80%.

F. A Faulty Device?:

So, is this covered under warranty? Note that this comes with a one-year, out-of-the-box, limited-warranty. So, set up a Genius Bar Appointment, asking them if this a faulty device.

Assuming your iPad has a Lightning port, you can use a fine-tipped plastic or sharpened wooden toothpick to gently dislodge any debris or fluff. Use good light; ensure that you don’t damage the delicate electrical contacts - or the retainer springs that are at the two extreme ends of the aperture. Never use anything metal.

Cleaning of the port, if necessary, is often best entrusted to the Apple technicians at the Genius Bar of your local Apple Store or Apple Authorised Service Provider (AASP) - who have both appropriate tools and experience:

Several. Possibly incompatibility with different cables/connectors. Sometimes the port need to be cleaned. And sometimes there's a hardware fault. I had that happen during the warranty. Would only charge with specific types of cables and wouldn't connect to a Mac through any cable. It was replaced under warranty with a white box replacement unit.
